Hand Rehabilitation for Hand Tingling
Tingling hands is an extremely common and bothersome symptom. Such tingling can sometimes be benign and temporary.
This issue could result from pressure on nerves when your arm is crooked under your head as you fall asleep. Or it could be from pressure on nerves when you cross your legs too long. In either case, the “pins and needles” effect — which is usually painless — is soon relieved by removing the pressure that caused it.
Diabetes also is one of the most common causes of peripheral neuropathy, accounting for about 30% of cases.
This is why tingling in the hands, feet, or both can be severe, episodic, or chronic. It also can come with other symptoms, such as pain, itching, numbness, and muscle wasting. In such cases, tingling may be a sign of nerve damage, which can result from causes as varied as traumatic injuries or repetitive stress injuries, bacterial or viral infections, toxic exposures, and systemic diseases such as diabetes.
Although there are no treatments for inherited types of peripheral neuropathy, many of the acquired types can be improved with treatment. Of note, successful treatment depends on an accurate diagnosis and treatment of the cause of the tingling.
As long as the peripheral nerve cells have not been killed, they can regenerate. Physical therapy, for example, showed great efficacy in terms of regenerating the affected hand nerves.
More specifically, due to low blood circulation, physiotherapy has proved to be effective in treating paresthesia. Nerve gliding exercises are used extensively in treating numbness and tingling of the hands. It prevents nerve damage by facilitating circulation and nerve movement.
In this regard, the famous medical company SIFSOF has advanced to the market its innovative device: the Robotic Rehabilitation Gloves: SIFREHAB-1.1. The machine is specifically designed to suit patients suffering from hand tingling. It is an innovative product for hand function rehabilitation.
